I need just the truss rods from a 26" girls 40's or 50's? Columbia. The truss rod mount on a stem bracket and have plastic fastners holding rod to truss. Quit hoarding!

Are male and female truss rods different? I would think they are the same for the same size wheel.

Most vintage girls bikes have longer head tubes which will make the steering tube longer. So now the with the truss rod mount farther away from axle(because of longer head tube) they will need to be longer!

Wow. On EBAy, I have seen vintage springer/rat trap forks for sale and they often specify them as female. Now I know why.
